Course description

This LCF course allows you to study fashion photography as both a practical and cultural discipline. The course is academically rigorous, with exploration of analytical and critical approaches to photographic imagery, together with the study of the ideology, politics and context of fashion. You will learn the technical skills of photography, including digital image production and manipulation, whilst exploring images from haute couture to street style, from advertising campaigns to designer look-books, from art gallery to shop window, and from fanzine to glossy magazine, and you will analyse and critique global style and the fashion industry. Industry-led projects form part of the course, and you will experience location and studio shooting, working in teams with stylists, make-up artists, model agencies and art directors. You will graduate as a professional and original image maker. You will be based in Lime Grove in Shepherd's Bush, just west of Holland Park and Notting Hill.

Modules

Located in the heart of the West End, London College of Fashion's rich heritage and responsiveness to changes in design practice have positioned it as a global provider of fashion education, research and consultancy. The College's work is centred on the development of ideas: students use fashion alongside historical and cultural practice to challenge social, political and ethical agendas.

Employment prospects for graduates of this subject

A few years ago graduates from this subject were having a very hard time but things have improved a lot thanks to our active media, film and photographic industries - much the most common employers for this group. The most common jobs are in the arts — as photographers, audio-visual technicians, operators and designers, as directors, as artists and as graphic designers. Training in presenting sound and graphics is useful in other industries as well, so you can find graduates in journalism, in advertising, in business management, in events management and in web design and IT. Be aware that freelancing and self-employment is common in the arts, as are what is termed 'portfolio careers' — having several part-time jobs or commissions at once.
